Sustainable Communities Questionnaire

In July of 2011, the Institute for Local Government (ILG) circulated the online Sustainable Communities Questionnaire to a group of almost 2,000 people interested in sustainability, focusing on local officials and staff. The goal was to collect information on:

• Sustainability topics of interest to local officials
• Effective ways to present information and foster peer learning among the local officials and staff, and
• The extent of local knowledge or expertise regarding sustainability best practices.

The online questionnaire remained open for a month and 688 individuals responded.  This 4-page document summarized some of the results.
